Apologies for the delay between articles, Drake has kept me extremely busy with broadcasting and writing there as well. But without further ado, we have arrived in 2009, which was coincidentally my senior year of high school and a great year for Ted Thompson and the Packers in April. The season before however, not so much. With Aaron Rodgers entrenched as the starter, the Pack struggled...

Packers OL T.J. Lang1) Introduction: T.J. Lang is perhaps one of the most unknown and under-appreciated offensive linemen in the NFL when using his performance as the metric. With this being his second season as the starting right guard (he previously started at left guard from 2011-2012), it was his best season as a professional. He has a vicious mean streak and likes to maul...

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman T.J. Lang says Ndamukong Suh was so charged up in the Week 17 game between the teams that the Lions defensive lineman challenged him to a fight. Lang was on the radio Friday with 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit and said Suh stepping on teammate Aaron Rodgers led to their...Read More

When the Green Bay Packers took on the Seahawks in Week 1 of the NFL season, the offensive line wasn’t built to handle Seattle’s overpowering defense. The Packers started a rookie center and early in the game were forced to use a backup right tackle due to injury.

When you are an offensive lineman you have one primary function on the field--destroy defensive players. That's likely what was going through the mind of Green Bay Packers offensive lineman T.J. Lang when he made the hit he made hear. He was just a wee bit late in doing so and it ended up costing his team 15-yards.On a different note--hats off to Lang's fellow lineman David Bakhtiari...

Renewing a rivalry that saw these two teams go at it in previous eras, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers found themselves in the middle of a major scrum in their NFC Playoff matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Now that the Green Bay Packers have gotten the junior varsity game against the Minnesota Vikings out of the way, it’s time to focus on the real deal and the New England Patriots.
I’ll be in the stands at Lambeau for the Sunday showdown. The Packers have never lost with me in Lambeau. They’ve tied, but never lost. Take that for what it’s worth.
But before I fire up the grill...

There is no more annoying noise in sports than the *expletive deleted* Minnesota Vikings’ horn. I swear the Vikings started using that horn not because they thought it was a good idea, but because they realized their team is a farce and they’d rather just annoy everyone by blowing a *expletive deleted* horn instead of trying to actually win games.
*Expletive deleted* that horn...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It all started with a tweet. Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari professed his love for the 2012 hit-movie musical "Pitch Perfect." The Twitter account of the 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive lineman was soon filled with postings about it, mentioning the stars of the film in an effort to get their attention.
It worked.

Week 10 against the Bears not only was great for the Packers in the way only a 55-14 drubbing can do for a team but also because almost 100% of the Packers roster was available, which came in handy when the backups starting getting snaps in the beginning of the 2nd half. A lot of concern was raised over the health of both starting guards TJ Lang and Josh Sitton, who surprisingly...
